We all know that Trump support is under-reported (Shy Tory Effect). More than two weeks to go, if he has any lead at all, and it holds or improves — he’s in. MAGA!

Bloody hell, its called the "Bradley Effect" by us yanks. Well its also called the Wilder effect, or yeah the Shy Tory Factor, or maybe we can call it the Brexit effect now. Looking up names for it I saw a lot of articles by leftwing gits whinging about there being no such thing though....that the Bradley election turned for another reason and they then argued about how it did not happen in the case of Obama (while ignoring that it has happened enough times to be called by different names). Perhaps when Trump wins they will maintain it was do to his greater enthusiasm or the wikileak factor, or the Veritas hit, or the reality-star effect, or who knows what else.

Shy Tory is related to Bradley/Wilder, where the respondents say they will vote for the cool candidate, but don't. You might say it's the flip side. Both are at work this time, actually. It's cool to say I'll vote for the woman, and not cool to say I'll vote for the caveman.
